The Taliban have banned women from universities in Afghanistan, sparking international condemnation and despair among young people in the country.

The higher education minister announced the regression on Tuesday, saying it would take immediate effect.

The ban further restricts women's education - girls have already been excluded from secondary schools since the Taliban returned last year.

Some women staged protests in the capital Kabul on Wednesday.

"Today we come out on the streets of Kabul to raise our voices against the closure of the girls' universities," protesters from the Afghanistan Women's Unity and Solidarity group said.

The small demonstrations were quickly shut down by Taliban officials.

The Taliban are reimposing their strict Islamic theology on everyone. Sad to see but it was predictable that this would happen.

Too bad, so sad. They had 20 years, with the help of our blood and treasure to fix things.

Don’t care.

On a positive note, the Afghans won’t have Feminist Supremacy Ideology ‘rotting out’ their educational institutions.

Don’t care.”

We wasted billions upon billions propping up a regime that few Afghans were willing to defend.

It’s their country so they can do whatever they want. Maybe Fonda needs to go protest these savages.

“Afghanistan: Taliban ban women from universities amid condemnation”

Is it much different than the US banning Asians and to a lesser extent, whites, from its top universities?

And, at least the Taliban isn’t cutting off the twangs of little kids, as the West seems to get off on.

I am sure the Taliban, now heavily armed Taliban thanks to Chomo Joe, are very concerned about “condemnation” from the infidels.

The mullahs love their drag shows. But they call them Bacha Bazi Boys. Then they rape them.
